A writer in CdsseJFs Magazine treats of
an interesting subject Interestingly as fol-
lows:
Experience shows that of the women
who do save large number lose their lit
tie stores. This is chiefly by investing
them in concerns which promise large in
terest. 1t cannot be too often repeated
that large interest means risk. No COM
pany would go about offering high interest
If 1t could get the money it needed for
less, and there are so many people with
money to invest that any safe concern can
get as much az it wants at a low rate.
Even if the grand promises of bubble
companies could be realized your interest
would probably be gained by depressing or
defrauding others; But they seldom or
never are realized, and it is a well-known
fact that very large proportion of their
victims are women who, ignorant Of bust
ness, and weary of the lengthy process of
adding little by little to their savings,
hope to become rich all at once, and so
grasp at the shadow TO find that they have
lost the substance
Again, do not be too kind to your rela-
tions. ! do not say that you should be
selfish or mean, but only prudent. Before
lending money to be used in their bust
ness, see that the business is safe one !;
you may have the fullest confidence in the
honest intentions of the borrower, but
make sure that his capability is also to be
depended on. Many teachers give their
savings to help in the education of their
brothers. Here, too, charity should be
guided by prudence. 1t is no true kind
ness to help stupid boy to university
education; you had much better help him
in some other way. 1t is also bad for him
TO be allowed to take your savings without
any recompense. In most cases you had
better lend than give; the knowledge that he
must repay you what he now spends out
of his future earnings viii help to keep
him from extravaganza.

but greatly and ali the time in o%uanti-

marks (183 ccnts) 40 per cent chips,
ETC., etc. Since the disastrous cnmpaign
of 18S4-85, however, the factories
have adopted another system of fix
ing the price, They ~stipulate a min
imnm price, based on the minimum
value of sugar, say 60-1OO to 7O-lOO
marks [about Is to I71 cents per
100 lbs and add 1O-100 mark, 81
per cent, for every advance of 2
marks per 100 kilos in the price of
sugar (about ! per cent per pound).
In their contracts with the beet-grow-
ers they are more exacting than ever;
they %stipulate the particular seed to
be sown, in many instances, to make
sure that the right kind is used the
factories buy the seed, and compel
the growers TO boy seed from them;
they prescribe the chemical
to be employed, The number of beets
to be planted 10 the square metre
USUALLY 10 to IL plants to the square

ner of preparing and cultivating the
soil, etc., etc, the whole to be super
intended by factory officials With
such a system it is not surprising
that they obtain beets, gradually
brought up to perfection, with a maxi
mum of saccharine and a minimum of
alkaline and othes matter.

to reason that with such possibilities
in sight as 20 per cent profit, even if

viz: as4a
